The Atlanta Hawks notched a second straight victory as they took care of business at home against the Golden State Warriors on Saturday night, securing a 125-114 victory at State Farm Arena. Trae Young led the Hawks in scoring with 25 points and 10 assists with Georges Niang adding 23 points off the bench. For the Warriors, Jimmy Butler III scored 25 points, and Moses Moody added 20 points.
Heading into this contest, the Hawks were handed a fortunate break with an injury to Stephen Curry midweek ruling him out with injury. Despite this, the Hawks were still considered underdogs but certainly did not play to the same tune to begin the game, powering to a 24-16 lead in this game before racking up a double-digit lead — even a 20-point lead in the first quarter.
